Game Art: Daniel Milessi's "Yasururu Sororo" (2011)

Yasururu Sororo is "an imaginary encyclopedia of Paraguayan history in video game format" created by video artist Daniel Milessi and presented in the Paraguayan pavilion of the 55th International Art Exhibition of the Venice Biennale. This revisionist history deals with the plight of a country from colonialism to neo-colonialism. One thing is certain: nobody wins in Yasururu Sororo. The description is below:

"Legend tells that a young shaman Chamacoco, confused by his lack of identity, research on the history of the land of his birth. By games of invasions builds a story that could be understood by his environment. A history of invasions, a story taken as a game, a game where no one can win". (Daniel Milessi)
